This happens consistently...day after day.  It's not a one time deal.  The
clock syncs regularly with time.nist.gov and the hwclock is sync'd to the
system time.  The system time is also correct.  It's only the log entries by
MailScanner that are 2 hours behind.  Is there a timezone that perl
recognizes independent of the system time?
